No one has ever apologized to me for calling my beliefs a lie or the Holy Word of God a myth and a lie, but what the heck I want to be reasonable and peaceable. However, I'm going to make an exception this time. I believe you should call a spade a spade. I am not attacking Sven or you personally in any way and I hope you know this but I believe there are certain aspects of the theory that are very elaborate lies. Lies that even great minds like yours and christians like the man you mentioned get caught up in. Lies that have some empirical evidence to back them up. Lies that in many cases make so much sense its incredible, but if it isn't totally true then the very fabric and weave of the whole thing is a lie. A lie thats designed to lead mens minds away from the very creator of the universe. The most effective deception is ones that contains 90% or more of pure truth and just enough falsehood to be able to dismiss them off hand as inconsiquential (ms)

I never say anything without having the evidence to back it up. If you want I have a list of criteia here that suggest a Divine Authorship of the Bible:

* The fact that there is only one race, i.e. the Human Race or Adam's Race (Human Genome Project). If I am not mistaken, evolution says that the people groups on Earth evolved from different ape like creatures sometime in the distant past; hence, there would be different races.

Denying eternal life is the same as suicide. Even if you lived for a few million years and rejected eternal life, it would still be suicide.... If I am on the edge of a cliff, delirious and hallucinating, and I see a man walk by and offer his hand, would it not be suicide to refuse to take it? Even if the hand isn't real, Even if the man isn't real, Even if God is fake and eternal life is a sham, Is it not suicide to refuse to even try and take his hand and grasp eternal life?

Why do Atheists want to die?... Christians want to live forever. Atheists don't. Christians want to Live. Atheists want to Die. Why? At some point, did an Atheist make a choice to reject the life that had been given to him by God? At some point, did a Christian make a choice to accept the life that had been given to him by God? Why do Atheists want to commit suicide? Some might say, 'I'm an Atheist, but I love life. I just wouldn't want to live forever.' But when you reject the offer of eternal life, or even refuse to investigate its existence, then what other word is there to describe it than suicide? Why do you want to die?

A way to counter the despicable sound of Islamic 'Prayer'... Just get all the Christians in the neighborhood to grab their CD players and BLAST 'Amazing Grace' over and over and over until that horrible 'prayer' stops. I say we spread this idea around and do it!!

[National Geographic Narrator voice:] And like the grand California condor, the endangered homosexual is incapable of reproduction on it's own, and must be protected from natural extinction thru recruitment drives and intimidation of other tribes to boost their ranks.

This is a REALLY good debate. Although I truly hate evolution, as it has turned so many people away from God's word...the truth, not some big lie with facts that are inaccurate. In the Beginning (of EartH) God made EVERYTING....Enough proof for me that evoultion is a lie.

Memories: How the heck do you think that an organism could evolve a memory. You cant, and I can't believe that it's so casually overlooked by soooo many people. You cant evolve the ability to remember farther back in the past.

The Bible is not simply a book of stories. We have over 24,000 original transcripts of the New Testament.... Want a comparison, well lets take the book that has the second most original trascripts, thats The Illiad, it has 650. But nobody is arguing against the Illiad, why because you dont care, and you accept thats we was written.

Yes, I laughed at the concept of Carbon dating. That was not directed at anybody in particular. If you are going to let your emotions get involved, then you should not be debating. BTW, I do not haphazardly make judgments on beliefs. I am very analytical and a student of all philosophy, science, and religion. Nothing I believe in is based on minimal understanding, except Faith itself.

Carbon 14; ha ha ha. The Carbon Dating Method is itself based on guesswork. O.K., so they test a rock and say it's 4,000 yrs old(give or take 10,000 yrs). Does anyone have any way to dispute that measurement? No, there was nobody alive 4,000 yrs ago who is still alive today. So is there any way to prove the measurement correct? No, there's no way to confirm that anything tested this way is accurate. If it's wrong, who's going to know? When you can go back in time and get proof that the rock was made 4,000 yrs. ago, then you can call it concrete evidence. Other than that 'scientists' are just iterpreting the clues as best they can(or how they want them interpreted). Fossils; remember the Great Flood? I have a theory of my own here. That much water covering the entire Earth in that short of time then receding also very quickly could do the same things to the land as glaciers moving slowly over centuries. In my opinion, no Ice Age. Also, many animals died at that time. Dinosaurs? Maybe. GOD never said that all the animals taken aboard the Ark would make it to our time. They could have gone extinct since then. Job (in the book of Job) writes about seeing something that could be interpreted like a dragon. Sulfur coming out of it's nostrils, very large. He did not say that it was a vision, so it could have been a real animal. The stories and legends have to start from somewhere.
